Best Southern American Restaurants in Milton

Branch and Barrel is always my go to for a casual cozy comfort meal. The Branch Berry cocktail never disappoints (but ours was missing the muddled strawberries, and I’ve had it served with a string of something before so the presentation was lacking) The food was yummy and our waitress was great. My BIG complaint is the massive waves of cold air when the doors open, which was often. It was brutal. In New England they either have a vestibule or a U shaped rod just as you walk in, hung with velvet curtains, to block the wind gusts. The doors are so centered and open to the entire space it was freezing. Still love this place though. I wish there were vegetarian options on the menu (and an Impossible burger swap option on your fantastic burgers) a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich and more hearty soups.

Great lunch today with friends. Food was great. Service was fabulous!

This was our first time to Milton’s and it was excellent! The deviled eggs & pimento cheese appetizers were fantastic! And don’t let me forget the HOT fresh rosemary bread. DROOL! After we ate all of that, we barely had room for dinner, but we ordered the cauliflower steak and meatloaf. All were excellent. Don’t forget to get a dirty martini or two with blue cheese stuffed olives!!!

First night back in town following an afternoon flight, so I suggested we go out for dinner. Where? Well, our “go-to’s” are either Table & Main or its sister restaurant, Osteria Mattone. We had last been to OM, so T&M it is! Wife got the three course prix fixe dinner for $35 cornbread manzanilla salad with half a chicken with parsnips, (half of which came home!) and bananas foster pudding (NONE of which came home!) For me, I tried the butternut squash & poblano bisque followed by the new menu’s pot roast dinner entree. I found myself wishing the soup had a little more “kick” but the pot roast lived up to waiter Conner’s description and is deserving of a spot in the rotation of meals I will order!

Had a great experience. The Mother’s Day Brunch was exactly as described. Food was excellent. Something for everybody. It is in the hotel if that is a concern for you but my family thought it was “fancy” being in the hotel.
